Reducing qubit frequency collisions through lattice design

ABSTRACT

Lattice arrangements for quantum qubits are described. A lattice arrangement can comprise adjacent structures having vertices connected by edges. The qubits can be positioned on the vertices. A qubit in the lattice arrangement directly connects to not more than three other qubits, or connects to another qubit via a coupling qubit on an edge between two qubits on a vertex. The adjacent structures can comprise hexagons, dodecagons or octagons. A superconducting qubit lattice can comprise superconducting target qubits and superconducting control qubits. The superconducting qubit lattice can comprise adjacent structures having vertices connected by edges, with target qubits positioned on the vertices and control qubits positioned on the edges. Logic operations between adjacent superconducting target and control qubits can be implemented by driving the superconducting control qubit at or near the frequency of the superconducting target qubit.

BACKGROUND

The subject disclosure relates generally to quantum computing, and more particularly to a lattice arrangement of qubits for quantum computations.

Quantum information processing (quantum computing) holds the potential for solving certain categories of mathematical problems that are intractable with conventional machine computations. Quantum computing employs quantum physics to encode information; for example, a quantum computer can employ quantum bits (qubits), which are basic units of quantum information, and thus a quantum computer can employ qubits to encode information. Building a highly useful quantum computer will need to have likely on the order of millions of physical qubits.

Many conventional quantum computer architectures are arranged with the physical qubits coupled vertically and horizontally to nearest neighbor qubits, forming a two-dimensional grid. However, the frequencies of qubits are not well controllable in some physical systems implementing qubits, and in practice, qubits have a spread in frequency due to imperfections following fabrication. Some ranges of frequencies are such that a gate comprised of two neighboring qubits does not work well, if at all, which is referred to as a frequency collision, which prohibits logical operations between those qubits. In extreme cases the frequency ranges are sufficiently bad such that a useless qubit results, basically resulting in a hole in the lattice.

SUMMARY

The following presents a summary to provide a basic understanding of one or more embodiments of the invention. This summary is not intended to identify key or critical elements, or delineate any scope of the particular embodiments or any scope of the claims. Its sole purpose is to present concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.

According to an embodiment, a device can comprise qubits arranged in a lattice arrangement, in which the lattice arrangement comprises adjacent structures having vertices connected by edges. The qubits can be positioned on the vertices, and a qubit in the lattice arrangement directly connects to not more than three other qubits, or connects to another qubit via a coupling qubit on an edge between two qubits on a vertex. The device thus reduces the number of connections between qubits, which in turn reduces the chances of frequency collisions.

The adjacent structures can comprise hexagons, dodecagons or octagons. The adjacent structures can comprise hexagons having qubits on the edges between the vertices of the hexagons, dodecagons having qubits on the edges between the vertices of the dodecagons, octagons having qubits on the edges between the vertices of the octagons or rectangles having qubits on the edges between the vertices of the rectangles. The coupling qubit on the edge between the two qubits on the vertices can comprise a control qubit, and the two qubits on the vertices can comprise target qubits. The structures thus reduce the number of connections between qubits, which in turn reduces the chances of frequency collisions.

According to another embodiment, a superconducting qubit lattice is provided. The superconducting qubit lattice can comprise superconducting target qubits and superconducting control qubits, in which the superconducting qubit lattice can comprise adjacent structures having vertices connected by edges. The superconducting target qubits can be positioned on the vertices and the superconducting control qubits can be positioned on the edges. A first superconducting target qubit can connect to a second superconducting target qubit via a superconducting control qubit on an edge between the first superconducting target qubit and the second superconducting target qubit. The adjacent structures can comprise hexagons having superconducting control qubits on the edges between the vertices of the hexagons, dodecagons having superconducting control qubits on the edges between the vertices of the dodecagons, octagons having superconducting control qubits on the edges between the vertices of the octagons, or rectangles having superconducting control qubits on the edges between the vertices of the rectangles. The superconducting qubit lattice and the structures thus reduce the number of connections between qubits, which in turn reduces the chances of frequency collisions.

According to yet another embodiment, a superconducting qubit lattice is provided. The superconducting qubit lattice can comprise superconducting qubits, in which the superconducting qubit lattice comprises adjacent structures having vertices connected by edges. The superconducting qubits can be positioned on the vertices. A superconducting qubit connects to not more than three other superconducting qubits. The adjacent structures can comprise hexagons, dodecagons or octagons. The superconducting qubit can indirectly connect to the not more than three other superconducting qubits via a coupling superconducting qubit. A first superconducting qubit can connect to a second superconducting qubit via a coupling superconducting qubit on an edge between the first superconducting qubit on a first vertex and the second superconducting qubit on a second vertex. The superconducting qubit lattice and the structures thus reduce the number of connections between qubits, which in turn reduces the chances of frequency collisions.

According to yet another embodiment, a superconducting qubit lattice is provided. The superconducting qubit lattice can comprise superconducting target qubits, and superconducting control qubits. The superconducting qubit lattice can comprise adjacent structures having vertices connected by edges. The superconducting target qubits can be positioned on the vertices and the superconducting control qubits can be positioned on the edges. A first superconducting target qubit can connect to a second superconducting target qubit via a superconducting control qubit on an edge between the first superconducting target qubit and the second superconducting target qubit. Logic operations between adjacent superconducting target and control qubits can be implemented by driving the superconducting control qubit at or near the frequency of the superconducting target qubit. The superconducting qubit lattice thus reduces the number of connections between qubits, which in turn reduces the chances of frequency collisions.

The adjacent structures can comprise hexagons. The adjacent structures can comprise dodecagons, or the adjacent structures can comprise octagons. The adjacent structures can comprise hexagons having superconducting control qubits on the edges between the vertices of the hexagons, dodecagons having superconducting control qubits on the edges between the vertices of the dodecagons, octagons having superconducting control qubits on the edges between the vertices of the octagons or rectangles having superconducting control qubits on the edges between the vertices of the rectangles. The structures reduce the number of connections between qubits, which in turn reduces the chances of frequency collisions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is merely illustrative and is not intended to limit embodiments and/or application or uses of embodiments. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied information presented in the preceding sections, or in the Detailed Description section.

One or more embodiments are now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like referenced numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the one or more embodiments. It is evident, however, in various cases, that the one or more embodiments can be practiced without these specific details.

Further, it is to be understood that the present disclosure will be described in terms of a given illustrative architecture; however, other architectures, structures and/or operations can be varied within the scope of the present disclosure.

It will also be understood that when an element such as a qubit is referred to as being coupled to or connected to another element, it can be directly coupled to or connected to the other element, or indirectly coupled to or connected to the other element by one or more intervening elements that can be present. In contrast, only if and when an element is referred to as being “directly” coupled to or connected to are there are no intervening element(s) present, that is, only if and when an element is referred to as being “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to another element, are there no intervening element(s) present.

Reference in the specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” of the present principles, as well as other variations thereof, means that a particular feature, structure, characteristic, and so forth described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present principles. Thus, the appearances of the phrase “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment”, as well any other variations, appearing in various places throughout the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.

A problem with conventional qubit arrangements is that the two-dimensional horizontal and vertical grid means that any qubit has four potential frequency collisions, given its four directly connected neighbors; (naturally a given qubit on the perimeter of the grid has less neighbors, but these qubits in a large grid structure are relatively small in number compared to non-perimeter qubits, and are not separately described herein). Note that it is also feasible to have horizontal, vertical and diagonal connections, corresponding to eight potential frequency collisions, which is likely even more problematic.

One solution described herein is to reduce the connectivity of an individual qubit to other, neighboring qubits by arranging the qubits with different lattice geometries, therefore lowering the likelihood of a frequency collision between neighboring qubits. Another solution described herein is to reduce the connectivity of an individual qubit to other, neighboring qubits by arranging the qubits with different lattice geometries, and assigning different roles to qubits; for example, one geometry arranges target qubits on vertices of the geometric (polygon) structures that make up the lattice, and control qubits on the edges between the vertices.

Referring now to the drawings in which like numerals represent the same or similar elements, FIG. 1 shows a general system 100 in which the technology described herein can be implemented. In the example of FIG. 1, a control device such as a conventional or dedicated computing machine 102 receives input 104 such as from a program, process, user or other suitable entity. Based on the input 104, the control device 102 generates quantum signals 108 that operate selected ones of the qubits in the qubit lattice arrangement 110. The output from the lattice arrangement 110 can, for example, comprise measurements of the qubit states that are fed back to the control device 102 such as for providing corresponding output 114 representing the experimental results or the like.

Turning to example structures that can be used to form a qubit lattice arrangement such as used as the lattice arrangement 110 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 shows a lattice arrangement 210 comprising qubits (represented as circles in FIG. 2) arranged as hexagon structures, e.g., as represented via the hexagon structure 222 highlighted in the dashed box. As can be seen, the hexagon structures are adjacent one another, and share two vertices and an edge with neighboring hexagon structures. Again, this is a general rule for internal hexagon structures, and does not address hexagon structures on the perimeter of the lattice arrangement 210.

The qubits in FIG. 2 are on the vertices of the hexagon structures, and in general the qubits are generally distributed symmetrically in the lattice arrangement 210. Note that the hexagon structures represented in FIG. 2 are not depicted as regular hexagons, however they can be regular hexagons. In addition to being adjacent other hexagon structures, it is seen that the qubits are generally distributed evenly in the lattice arrangement 210.

Unlike horizontal and vertical grids in which internal qubits have four direct connections, it can be readily appreciated that the qubits in FIG. 2 at most are directly connected to three other qubits. Thus, for example the qubit 224, (highlighted as a black circle in FIG. 2), is directly connected only to qubits to 227-229 (highlighted via crossed circles). Because of the reduced number of connections (relative two horizontal and vertical grids), a qubit in one of the hexagonal structures of FIG. 2 is statistically less likely to have a frequency collision with one of its neighboring qubits.

FIG. 3 illustrates how in the hexagonal lattice arrangement 210 two neighboring qubits 330, 332 connected by a bus 333 (the qubits are represented as black circles, e.g., forming a two-qubit gate) have only four other qubit frequencies that can cause crosstalk with the four qubits 336-339 that neighbor the gate formed by the two-qubits 330, 332. As can be readily appreciated, a similar two-qubit gate in a horizontal and vertical grid arrangement has six neighboring qubits, increasing the likelihood of a frequency collision.

Another embodiment, represented in FIG. 4, is directed towards having assigned roles for qubits, and positioning those qubits on a lattice arrangement to further reduce the likelihood of frequency collisions. In FIG. 4, the small black circles represent coupling qubits, while the larger white circles represent other qubits. In one or more implementations, the coupling qubits are control qubits, while the other qubits are target qubits; (the concept and functionality of control qubits and target qubits are well known in quantum computing, and thus are not described in detail herein). Note that the sizes of the circles are not intended to convey actual relative sizes, but rather to help visually differentiate the two roles of the qubits.

In FIG. 4, the hexagonal structures (e.g., one of which is represented by the dashed box 442) are generally similar to those of FIGS. 2 and 3, in that some qubits are positioned on the vertices of the hexagon structures, the hexagonal structures are adjacent one another, the qubits are generally evenly spaced, and so on. However, in contrast to FIGS. 2 and 3, the edges between the vertices have coupling (e.g., control) qubits positioned thereon. As can be seen, qubit 444 (e.g., a target qubit) is connected through coupling qubit 445, and thereby indirectly connected to qubit 446. Thus, there are two qubits per bus, namely an edge-positioned coupling (e.g., control) qubit and a vertex-positioned (e.g., target) qubit.

Accordingly, as represented in FIG. 5, for every two qubit gate (the small and large black circles 552 and 554, respectively), with the control driven at the target, only one other qubit (represented by the “crossed” qubit 556) is directly coupled to the control qubit 552, therefore reducing the number of frequency collisions.

FIG. 6 shows twenty qubits in a lattice of hexagonal structures; the control qubits (twelve in number, labeled with C's) are only nearest-neighbor coupled to two target qubits (four labeled with T₁, four with T₂), and only three distinct frequencies are needed. Types of collisions (10 MHz half-width on collision windows), where ω represents the frequency of the qubit, are type 1: ω₀₁ ^((j))≠ω₀₁ ^((k)) and type 2: ω₁₂ ^((j))≠ω₀₁ ^((k)) (where j and k are nearest neighbors). Other collisions, where Δ is the frequency difference between control and target qubits, ε is the amount that the target frequency is allowed to be above the control frequency, and δ is the anharmonicity of the qubit, are type 3: Δ_(jk)=ω_(j)−ω_(k) ∈(−ε, −δ_(j)) and type 4: ω₀₂ ^((j))/2≠ω₀₁ ^((k)), where j represents a control qubit and k represents a target qubit. Still other collisions are type 5: ω₀₁ ^((k))≠ω₀₁ ^((i)), type 6: ω₀₁ ^((k))≠ω₁₂ ^((i)) and type 7: ω₀₂ ^((j))≠ω₀₁ ^((i))+ω₀₁ ^((k)) (where i represents a spectator qubit, j represents a control qubit and k represents a target qubit).

FIG. 7 shows another lattice arrangement 710 with two-dimensional structures comprising dodecagons; one such structure is represented in the dashed box 772. As can be seen from FIG. 7, including by the qubit 774 (represented by a black circle) and its neighboring qubits 776-778 (represented by crossed circles), any individual qubit in the lattice arrangement 710 directly connects to a maximum of three other qubits. Although not separately shown, it is understood that any two qubit gate in the lattice arrangement 710 of FIG. 7 directly connects to a maximum of four other qubits.

FIG. 8 shows another lattice arrangement 810 with two-dimensional structures comprising dodecagons, in which coupling (e.g., control) qubits are positioned on the edges between the other (e.g., target) qubits positioned on the vertices. As can be seen from FIG. 8, including by the qubits 884 and 886, any individual qubit in the lattice arrangement directly connects only to a coupling qubit, e.g., the coupling qubit 888. Thus, the same reduced frequency collision statistics described above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 apply to the lattice arrangement 810 of FIG. 8.

FIG. 9 shows another lattice arrangement 910 with two-dimensional structures comprising octagons; one such structure is represented in the dashed box 992. As can be seen from FIG. 9, including by the qubit 994 (represented by a black circle) and its neighboring qubits 996-998 (represented by crossed circles), any individual qubit in the lattice arrangement 910 directly connects to a maximum of three other qubits. Although not separately shown, it is understood that any two qubit gate in the lattice arrangement 910 of FIG. 9 directly connects to a maximum of four other qubits.

FIG. 10 shows another lattice arrangement 1010 with two-dimensional structures comprising octagons, in which coupling (e.g., control) qubits are positioned on the edges between the other (e.g., target) qubits positioned on the vertices. As can be seen from FIG. 10, including by the qubits 1014 and 1016, any individual qubit in the lattice arrangement directly connects only to a coupling qubit, e.g., the coupling qubit 1018. Thus, the same reduced frequency collision statistics described above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 apply to the lattice arrangement 1010 of FIG. 10.

FIG. 11 shows a grid-like lattice arrangement 1110 with respect to qubits positioned on the vertices of squares (or more generally, rectangles). However, in contrast to other grid-like arrangements, there on coupling qubits on the edges between the other qubits; the qubits on the vertices can be target qubits, and the qubits on the edges can be control qubits. Thus, for example, qubit 1116 directly connects to coupling qubit 1117 (and only to other coupling qubits), and coupling qubit 1117 directly connects to qubit 1118. Thus, the same reduced frequency collision statistics described above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 apply to the lattice arrangement 1110 of FIG. 11.

Statistical modeling shows a definite reduction in frequency collisions. Empirical inputs to the model can include definitions of ‘collision windows’ (known from quantum modeling or from measurement) and measured statistical distribution of qubit frequencies. Design inputs to the statistical model can include number of qubits in the circuit, geometric arrangement of qubits in the circuit, function of the various qubits in the circuit (e.g. their use as “data” or “ancilla” in quantum error correction algorithms), qubit type (e.g. transmon, phase qubit, flux qubit or other type of superconducting qubit), qubit anharmonicity (values in GHz or MHz), number of qubits per bus, intended qubit frequencies (values in GHz) and desired fidelities for cross-resonance (CR) gates.

The following data tables, obtained via Monte Carlo simulations, (in which σ represents the standard deviation, ε represents the amount that the target frequency is allowed to be above the control frequency, δ_C represents the anharmonicity of the control qubit and δ_T represents anharmonicity of the target qubit) summarize a hexagonal lattice (vertices and edges) with (control qubit frequency) ω_(c)=5.2 GHz:

The following table summarizes the comparing of hexagonal and square lattices (vertices and edges) with ω_(c)=5.2 GHz:
